An Insane Mans Freaks
New York Times

new j CTh liiiieS
Arthur S. Austin, the queer Vcrmonter
who has been giving cigars away to every
body on Broadway and in tie hotel cor
r'dors who pleased his eye, and so qIander-
ing his money in other ways, was arrest
ed yesterday at his wife's instance, with a
view to a judicial inquiry as to his sanity.
Austin left good law practice in Yer
mont some time ago and suddenly made
a comparatively big fortune at Birming
ham, Ala, out of real estate speculations.
He came to New York, stopped at TIE
Hoffman house and became more
eccentric. In February he was arrested,
examined, and pronounced insane. After
short stay in private asylum in North
ampton, Mass, his wife was persuaded to
let him come out. He returned to New
York and threatened to shoot the news

ments. few days ago he announce a
new plan. He was going to Chicago in a
chartered drawing room car, hire hall

All the while he kept on spending his

W. W. McClanch, a lawyer of Chicopee,
come to New York and take steps to have
her husband examined again. Mr.. Nc
Clinch was told at Pauls on West Twen-
tysixth street, where Austin was lodging,
that he had left town, presumably for
Chicago few hours afterward McClench
saw his man in the Hoffman house lobby,
got policeman, and had him arrested
on Broadway near Twenty-s1xth street.
At Capt. Williams station house load
ed pistol was found in his overcoat
pocket. He said he was going to shoot
MeClench with If when opportunity
afforded. Austin will be taken to the
Jefferson market police court this morn
ing and a commission of physicians from
Bellevue will probably be appointed to
iuqu into his mental condition. If he
is found insane, as those who know him
think will be the result he will be placed
in an asylum.

GIVING AND TAKING A LIGHT.
The manner OF Spanish, German, English. and
American Smokers.
Nart- S,,,,


There is a certain variety in the man
ner of giving and taking light for a
cigar that is interesting to all smokers.
The Italians and French successfully
copy the Spanish style, the only possible
objection to it being thai it may some
times carry politeness beyond a reason.
able range. But, after all, it is simple
and friendly enough. The Spaniard bows
and asks his neighber for a light. The
latter, returning the bow, Immediately
presents him with his cigar, holding out
the lighted end at slight angle between
the thumb ana second finger. The other
takes the cigar and, after procuring the
needed fire from it, reverses it skiIlfully
and returns it. the entire operation being
accompanied by another graceful bow
and each raises his hat as he turns To go
away. The Spaniard always smokes
through his nose. He considers it ex-
travagant to waste any good smoke
through his mouth, and inveterate smok-
ers in all countries agree with him.
The German is more polite in asking
for light than he Is in giving it. Even
with the best intentions, in the latter case
his efforts have all the appearance of re-
luctance. Sometimes, when the cigar is
smoked down nearly far enough, he
throws it away Immediately after granting
arequest for fire. hissamong the Latins
is considered rude and boorish in the ex-
trene and is sometimes regarded as posi-
tiVely insulting.
The average Englishnan hesitates be-
fore he gives a light, and finally acts as if
he had achieved mighty feat in condes-
cension. IEstead of lifting his hat, his
hand is more likely to go into his pocket,
and he is apt to give parting puff with
an air of indignation as he stalks away.
Possibly this comes from the fact that
he never asks for light himself, and is
always well armed with MATCHES.
The American of late seems to be some
what averse to letting anyone take a light
from his cigar. He takes it for granted
that it must be much better than his
neighbours and, not wishing to contamin
ate it, he answered an appeal for the fire
with match. Sometimes he politely
lights the match, and in such cases he
presents it with an air good enough for
any Spaniard. But this somewhat new
custom may possibly be of Irish parent
age. The Irish peasant always strikes a
match for his freless friend or fellow
traveller, and even in gale of wind he
will hold lighted match in the hollow
of his hands and humorously issue orders
for the capture of the precious flame.
The giving or taking of light for
cigar is small affair, but little things
often reveal a great deal of the character,
disposition, and breeding of men. 1t
should always be offered cheerfully and
taken politely. In this country it need
not be done with the extreme politeness
and elegance which may be said to be the
exclusive property IF he Latins, and
which is probably beyond the lreach
of colder and more sober races: but it
should be accompanied by that good
fellowship which is governed by common
sense, the foundation of all politeness.

TRAGEDY IN ONE ACT.

Inc husband OF an Actress Attempts TO Shoot
Travelling Man.
MILWAUKEE, April 26.-At 7:3o this
morning John Mcintyre, an employe of
the dime museum, went to the Republican
houss and asked the porter for a travelling
man named Haley. AS soon as the object
OF his search was pointed out he pulled a
seif-acting 3Scalibre revolver, and, tax
ing deliberate ann, pulled the trigger.
The weapon did not go of, and before he
could try again it was knocked out of his
hand ana he was arrested. Examination
shows that the revolver had every cham
Der full, but one of the cartridges had
been exploded and happened to be the
one on which the hammer fell. This un-
doubtedly saved Haley's life.
Mcintyre was taken to court, and Judge
Mallory held him for future examina-
ton. From what he stated in court, it
appears that his wife is on the stage, and
is nov filling an engagement in ST. Paul,
and that the prisoner accuses Haley of
trying to break up his family.

FASHIONABLE SOCIETY

and are rarely met at festive gatherings
They are thoroughly y-trained business
women, up in all the mysteries of book
keeping, and they themselves keep all
the accounts in connection with the every
day administration of their fortune.
Their recreations are chiefly outdoor
pleasures. They are skillful horse-wom
en-, train ed from childhood to ride. They
have stableful of fine horses, and one
meets them riding miles around their
country place. A ride of ten miles is an
ordinary indulgence, and run of twenty
miles has not worn them altogether out
They are fond of dogs too, and they have
at least fifty of the faithful creatures run
ming u and about their home. Their
personal expenditures do not equal a
tenth of the sum they give away yearly
IN charity. They have long list of pen
sioners who depend largely upon them
for support; many old friends and pen
sloners also of their late father and
mothor. They are also regular subscrib-
ers to great many charitable institu-
tions. Begging letters pour in upon
them by the hundred. But, though they
are not deaf to any worthy appeal, most
of these epistles they promptly and pru-
IDENTIFY consign to the flames. There is
chapel near to their house. OF course
they pay most of the current expenses of
that, too. Still there they probably get
their moneys worth, for they attend
early service there every day. They
teach Sunday school in their own house,
having class of sixty or seventy boys
from the country eide. While abroad all
| their v.rious charities arc kept up by
people whom they specially designate
for that purpose. Thus the good work
goes on ceaselessly. Altogether they are
an excellent trio for the three richest un-
married sisters in the United States.
